OK, so it's a playtest request (with the inferences from that: require feedback, confidentiality, etc). Here's what it is:
A whole bunch of monsters compatible with 5e are ready to be playtested. Each monster has a statblock and text entries. These creatures are based upon historical folklore, rather than how they've been depicted in modern fantasy literature/games/media.
If you're interested in taking these and putting them into your game, let me know and I'll IM you the appropriate documentation. It's a 275 page file, just so you know.
Here is an example of the first page (of 2) of the Black Annis as it will appear in the book. The playtest file does not have the 5e style guide or layout; it's simply text and the statblock, which is OK because these are for playtest purposes (sort of like the early 5e monster packets back in 2012-13). But it does include everything that would be in the final entry.
